PIN TICKET OR TAG.

To (tZZ. whom, it nut concern.-

' f Be it known that I, JoHN O. EDWARDS, a

citizen of the United States, and a residentof Brookline, county of Norfolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Pin Tickets or Tags, of which the following description, in connection -with the accompanying drawing, a specification, like Letters on the drawing representing like parts. A

This inventionhas for its object the productionof anovel pin ticket or tag for at taohment to dress goods, garments, etc, in order to afford a convenient nean's for displaying price or other markings thereon, present invention being designed for application to the fabric in such manner that the pass through I have also provided the ticket or tag with means for pro tecting the prick the fingers of those who have to handle the fabric.

The various novel features of rny invention will be fully described in the subjoined specification and particularly pointed out in the following claims.

Figure l is aperspective view of apin ticket or tag embodying one form of my invention; Fig. 2'is an edge view thereof; Fig. 3 shows the pin ticket applied to a fabric and secured thereto, but before the pointed end portion of the fastener is concealed; Fig. 4 is a similar view but showing the ticket in its final condition, as seen from the. back of the fab rie, with the fastener concealed; Fig. 5 is a sectional view on the line 5 5, Fig. 4, looking toward the left.

In accordance with my present invention I take a blank, made of paper, thincardboard, or other suitable material and of the desired dimensions, and double it upon itself to form two plies l, 2, Which are superposed for a distance somewhat manently connected, as by cement, glue, or otherwise. The free end or extension of one of the plies, as 1, forms a fold 3,

adapted to .be bent over toward said ply along the line a, 4, Fig. 1, and a rectangular Q Specification of Letters Patent. Ap nman filed January 26,1907. Serial No. 354,270.

To apply the ticket, efpo nte, end e fastener are passe hroug -he,fabric aoent it s edge, s lines Fig. 2, after which the fold 3 is turned or bent over the edge of the fabric and down upon its back face. In so doing the ends 8 of the fastener pass through the opening 5 in the fold, after down laterally upon the outer face of the fold, as shown in Fig. 3. The ticket is now securely attached to the fabric, and it only remains to conceal and protect the turned down ends 8 of the fastener. flap 6 is bent over upon the fold 3 and the tongue 7 is passed through the opening 5, be tween the fabric and the fold, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the fold being held against the enne t ebe s ee dotted which said ends are turned To do this the fabric by the turned down ends of the fasf tener, while the fold in turn retains the flap 6 in position to conceal and protect the fas tener ends.

By makin the openin 5 large enough to receive the fastener ends after they have '95 been passed through the fabric the fold is easily turned or bent around the edge of the fabric, and will lie thereupon fiat and smooth.

Any suitable fastener may be used, in-

stead of the one herein shown, provided the TOO 1 end of one ply constituting a fold adapted to other fold constituting a flap,

., tongue.

2. As an article of manufacture, a'pin ticket or tag doubled upon itself and perrn'a- I nentl'y connected for a part of its length,

leaving a fold and flap formed by the unceinented portions of the plies, said fold having an opening and the flap havi' g a tongue to enter the same, and a staple attached to the connected. plies and adapted to pass through a fabric adjacent its edge and then through the fold when turned over the fabric edge, the staple being thereafter turned down upon the fold and concealed by the flap when its tongue is inserted in the fold opening. a

3. As an art'cle of manufacture, a pin ticket or tag doubled upon. itself and perinanentlv connected for a part of its length, the

free end of one ply forming a fold and the free end of the other ply forming a flap, a st a- 1 ple through a fabric 7 adjacent its edge and then through the fold bent over the edge of the lfabric, the staple legs when turned down 5 upon the outer face of the fold being con- 5 cealed by the flap, and means to retain the flap in position to conceal the staple legs.

@ As an article of manufacture, a pin ticket or tag doubled upon itself and perinanently connected for a part of its length,

leaving a fold and a flap formed by the unce- ,mented portions of the plies, a staple attached to the connected plies adjacent the l fold andprojeoting from the face of saidplies toward which the fold is bent when in use, an

opening inthe fold extending toward its outer end from the bend, to receive the staple legs when passed through a fabric adjacent its edge, and a tongue on the flap to he passed through the opening after the staplev legs have been turned down upon the fold.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my l name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
